Symptoms of breast tumors

If a breast tumor is a benign type such as fibroadenoma or fibroma, and the tumor is relatively small, it usually does not cause noticeable symptoms. As the tumor grows larger, it may lead to pain, pressure, and a sensation of swelling. If it is mammary Paget's disease (eczema-like breast cancer), symptoms may include nipple discharge, bloody nipple discharge, and an eczema-like appearance. If it is invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast, the breast mass tends to be hard, and in severe cases, the skin may develop a peau d'orange (orange peel-like) appearance and rough texture.
